Inverse Kinematics Robotic Arm
Real-Time Inverse Kinematics & 3D Motion Tracking
Project Overview
Designed and developed a 6-degree-of-freedom inverse kinematics robotic arm system integrated with real-time 3D simulation. The system captures physical joint movements and translates them into a synchronized virtual environment, enabling accurate real-time tracking of an end-effector in 3D space.
System Architecture
The system captures real-time joint movement data from encoders and transmits it to the ESP32 for processing and communication with the 3D simulation environment. Calibration and inverse kinematics algorithms are then applied to accurately map physical arm movements into virtual space, enabling synchronized real-time tracking and visualization of the robotic arm and end-effector inside the simulation environment.
Real-time inverse kinematics and 3D motion tracking demonstration
Core Concept
The robotic system maps joint-level motion into Cartesian space using inverse kinematics. Each movement of the physical arm is mathematically transformed to compute the precise position and orientation of the end-effector, which is then replicated in a virtual 3D environment.
